Does IA5 have the option for the Macharius to dish out the vanquishers cannons, battle cannons and Vulcan bolters? Just wondering if it's worth buying...

Oh, and sorry to stir up the dead article, but I didnt want to start a fresh article when this IS the article where the conversation will end up.

It's ok, this isn't a "dead" post...more of an "Immortal" one. Since I usually post updates to the list here. Just like in the All IG Doctrines List post. So feel free to post here when you have a question.

As for the variants available to you in IAV5. I believe the Vanquisher version is in the book, but the Vulcan Megabolter version is indeed new. Which I expect we will see in either the FW Update for this year, or IAV6 which is slated for release around December.

"BIG" UPDATE: With the upcoming release of the new Imperial Armor Apocalypse, I have updated the list with the known contents of the book. As stated by FW, those pieces in this book will superseed the existing Imperial Armor Update 2006, so I have made changes to the listed based on this new info. Also a new section has been added to the list....Apocalypse Formations will focus on FW Exclusive Formations. As always, if you wish to discuss these issues please DO NOT post here as this is considered a closed post for Updates only, use the link below to discuss issues in the IG FW Universal post...thanks! Enjoy!

WARMACHINE UPDATE: Just doing some general house keeping of the list. I've also gone back and reviewed Imp Armor Apocalypse now that I have a hard copy. Not much has changed, although I did add the Chaos Warhound, since it now an option for one of the armylist on this guide. I've also removed any reference to Imperial Update 2006 from gear that is now available in Imp Armor Apocalypse, since that material is superseeded by the new addition. Some gear is not in the new book but was in IAUpdate, so a reference is left there in case someone has IAUpdate. Also all PDF links are still working....Mission Accomplished in 2007....See you in 2008 with more FW Gear! Enjoy!

UPDATE: It's a new year for FW and with it comes one of the biggest release for the IG Forces. The first official version of the Reaver Battle Titan rules is now available in PDF. Check it out! Also the following PDFs are now gone from the FW site, if you want the rules you'll have to invest in FW books.

UPDATE: Ah! A new edition of Imperial Armor is here....While I have been cruising thru it the last month or so...I've learned a few new things....First off is the new addition of a Khorne themed Renegades and Heretics armylist. As well as some new units for the FW DKoK armylist. Also a few recently pulled PDF rules have showed up in this new book. It should be noted that the points price of the PDF Reaver Titan is WRONG! A new points price is included in the new IAV6 book. I have gone thru the list of items and made small changes where needed.

A new category has been added to the list. The new Renegades and Heretics now has Air Assets listed as part of the list, the new book also has profiles for the fighters in this book, therefore since this is now part of the IG/R&H list the "Renegade Air Force" section has been added.

As always....Enjoy! CARRY ON!

UPDATE: It's been a while since I last made any update to this important document. With the release of the new Armored Battle Group list and IG Codex, I have added a new army list, along with links to the new revised books in PDF Form to the list. I don't have IAV7 yet, but once I do I will return to make more proper changes. I have also added IAV8 to the list with the rumored Imps vs Ork name....We shall see....

As Always....Enjoy!

UPDATE: Oh yeah the Elysians are back baby!! Sweet Droptroops for your enjoyment....yes I have a copy of IAV8, and a proper update has been done here for all the new gear and armylist. FW also has a new web site, and I have removed all dead PDF links, but I have found the Update links for IA 1&2 if your looking for them. They still exist on the FW site! As always Mars provides....
